Another lesson we learned this Summer. flowers make the vegetable garden a happier place to work.

We have grown sunflowers in the garden before, but this year we added a trough of zinnias.

Their bright blooms made me smile every time I saw them. Not to mention the bees loved them and bees are a gardener’s friend. I clipped the dead flower heads to save seeds for next Summer’s garden. We will be adding more sunflowers and zinnias next year. Do you have flowers in your vegetable garden?
